Maybe I was wrong to plant them on a nice mixed compost soil. My mom's chillies are planted on semi hard soil and they are thriving!

Hee..hee..from far, the plants do look healthy ya!

It may also be due to the consistent hot weather, hence the blossom drop. Did you use any fertilizer? They don't like the nitrogen granular type. However, I see that your chilli plant is green and healthy.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-87174215084504418372010-07-02T00:10:26.865+08:002010-07-02T00:10:26.865+08:00Thanks all for your comments.

But I have found some mealy bugs on my Lady B(rinjal). They must be the culprit. Will get myself a magnifying glass in future so that I can stare right into them! <br /><br />Steph, thanks for the suggestion to use rain water. I will try to do that too.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-11800499641536511622010-07-01T16:39:36.098+08:002010-07-01T16:39:36.098+08:00Nice vege bed!

Maybe, once in a while collect some rain water to water the whole vegetable bed so that the collected minerals from tap water will be flushed off as well. I do this for my sheltered plants ;-) <br /><br />My EM died due to clogging in my pot. I didn't notice till last minute. By that time, all the flowers and leaves have dropped already. Fortunately, I manage to salvage the stem to start a new plant again.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-45033534764554686652010-07-01T00:46:46.592+08:002010-07-01T00:46:46.592+08:00A very promising pokok cili.
